Has anyone considered rehearsal in a church. I don't think you can get
a much more
daunting experience than that, and if you are able to cope with the
acoustics there you
should be able to handle any situation. I remember this to be one of
the most harrowing
experiences I have encountered but was also very exhilarating.

I would also suggest that most church leaders would not object to a
free performance in their
church as a lead up to a contest.
